For more than one hundred years scholars have been debating when the enigmatic Armenian historian called Movses (Moses) of Xoren lived and wrote. Many scholars both East and West have suggested the 8th century. This is the view developed in "On the Date of Pseudo-Moses of Chorene" by Cyril Toumanoff (1913-1997) which appeared in the journal Hande's Amso'reay (Vienna, 1961), columns 467-476. The case for the traditional 5th-century date is presented in "The Date of Moses of Khoren" by F. C. Conybeare (1856-1924) from the journal Byzantinische Zeitschrift, 10 (1901), pp. 489-504. Both articles are included in the download. Formats available: searchable pdf or zipped HTML files. Prepared  by Robert Bedrosian.
